Khaleejia said: I'd like to highlight some abaya trends that are very popular now (mainly for abaya wearing women outside of the Gulf) Theses trends are not exactly new, but it's now that they are worn commonly. Abayas like these can be found in almost every abaya shop be it a designer boutique in Dubai Mall or a small tailor shop in Ajman. If you go to any big shopping center you are bound to see several women wearing such abayas.
